To Use
increase size by 32K “1” or up arrow
decrease size by 32K “M” or down arrow
increase size by 0.5K “K” or right arrow
decrease size by 0.5K "J" or left arrow
iv) Press <return>
The sizes are dependent upon the total available space. All of
the hard disk memory must be allocated to one partition or
another. When you shift space from any partition, it will affect
the space of the next partition.
Allot the sizes to higher number partitions in a “trickle down”
method; pass memory from the lower numbered partitions to
the higher numbered.
LOCK NAME SIZE ON SYSTEM BOOT
1 20000.0K CLEAR
2 5000.0K CLEAR
3 5000.0K CLEAR
4 5000.0K CLEAR
5 2500.0K PASCAL
6 2500.0K CP/M
7 .0K CLEAR
In the example above, partitions 1-4 would be the only ones
affected by a SIZE change because 5 and 6 are not clear.
* Important: After changing the size of the partition,
you’ll need to reset the SYSTEM and FORMAT.
Turning Partitions On or Off
Although you can segment the drive into 16 partitions, due to
the restrictions imposed by the various operating systems, all 16
cannot be active at once. You can have four active partitions at
one time under ProDOS and CP/M. DOS 3.3 and Pascal
however, allow only two partitions at one time.
You can decide which partition you want to use during a
particular session by turning them ON (*) or OFF (blank). When
a drive is off (inactive), it will not be recognized by the computer
but all data stored within that partition is saved. It’s like saving
files to a disk and then pulling the disk out of the drive.
